Holly and her team is great! We hired them for our big tent wedding reception with about 200 people. The drinks were delicious and the bartenders were great. One of the bartenders even went around picking up trash from the tables towards the end of the night (which I did not expect her to do). Holly is also extremely responsive, which I appreciate. Multiple times I messaged late at night (not expecting a response until the morning) and I would have an answer in my inbox within a few minutes.

Details: 176 - 200 guests • Wedding reception • Low key / casual • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Glassware • Setup / cleanup • Ice • Coolers

Holly was amazing, I planned my wedding last minute and she was very responsive. She came up with great drinks and even added my kitties to the menu. She was also very nice and arrived on time to set everything up. My family and friends were raving about the drinks. If you’re thinking of getting a bartender I really recommend her. We’ll be definitely hiring her again when we throw our next event. Thank you Holly for making my day even more special!

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Wedding reception • Formal / elegant • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed

Great experience all around. Holly was great coordinating the event being very responsive to my questions and did not try to upsell. No hidden costs or fees like I had seen with other bartending vendors I contracted We had a birthday party of about 40 people and the bartenders Holly sent were very professional. They arrived early and worked with me on setup to best align to the venue. They brought a print out to display with the specialty drinks that we worked out in advance. They also brought an ingredient to use I did not plan on which made it better. The theme was Caribbean chic and they came dressed to the part as well. During the night, there was a steady stream of customers and they kept up well. The fact that during our party I did not need to worry about the drinks, meant success!

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Birthday party • Low key / casual • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed

We had a great party with That’s the Spirit working the bar. We had about 30 people for an in home birthday party. The guests loved the added touch of in home bartenders and as the host it was awesome to not have to worry about the bar. Definitely worth it!
